Chicken Enchilada Pie image

I clipped this from The Milwaukee Journal about 10 years ago. A Mexican-American woman devised it to re-create the taste of her mother's chicken enchiladas. It's a little time-consuming, but the flavor is well-worth it

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4-1/2 onion, chopped
1 minced garlic clove
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, either canned or 1 1/2 cups reserved from boiling chicken
2 (4 ounce) cans of chopped green chilies
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 corn tortillas, quartered
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2 -3 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded
8 -10 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
tomatoes (your pleasure) or salsa (your pleasure)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add onion and garlic; cover and cook over low heat until onion is wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Check halfway through to make sure onion and garlic are not browning.
  • Increase heat to medium and stir in flour, cumin, and pepper, stirring 2 minutes to cook rawness out of the flour.
  • As flour begins to brown, remove pan from heat and gradually add the broth,using a wire whisk to combine.
  • Add chilies, oregano, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil,cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes,stirring occasionally.
  • Using an 8x8 square dish coated with non-stick vegetable spray, make layers of quartered tortillas, refried beans, chicken, sauce, and cheese to a depth of 1/2 inch per layer.
  • Repeat 3 times, ending with cheese.
  • Tightly cover pan with foil and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes.
  • Garnish with sour cream.
  • Note: Recipe may be doubled--if so, use a 9x13-inch pan.
  • You can also add 1 to 2 tbsp of green chili salsa when adding chilies and oregano.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of chicken, enchilada sauce, and cheese is irresistible. I usually add some black beans and corn to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
